I, along with a few co-workers have been testing the PedalBox, on our personal vehicles and we absolutely love it (I have a 2011 135 with a JB3 and a downpipe.) The PedalBox sharpens throttle response and gets rid of the dead pedal feel in the higher gears. If you don’t know what I am talking about when I say dead pedal, put your car in 6th gear and slowly press the gas pedal. You’ll notice that you have about an inch of travel in the pedal before the car really responds. The PedalBox will fix this problem and is the perfect complement to a tune. I prefer to drive in Sport+ mode, which makes revs come faster and transforms the driving feel of the car.

That being said, I am proud to announce that TWM Performance will be Bringing the Pedalbox V3 piggyback throttle controller to North America.

Description:

The PedalBox, manufactured by DTE Systems of Germany, is a throttle controller designed to suit your preference of driver experience. Most cars of the 21st century use a drive-by-wire system to control the throttle body. Unfortunately, the drive-by-wire system causes subdued acceleration and throttle lag. The PedalBox solves this problem by taking the signal from your pedal and amplifying it, eliminating throttle lag and changing the driving experience. PedalBox has three modes; Sport, Sport+, and Eco mode. Each of which have six levels of adjustability. Sport mode is suited for enthusiast daily driving , Sport+ is for aggressive driving, and Eco Mode is for fuel consumption.

Pedalbox does work with the DCT. It will make your car rev more freely and with the dct your transmission will behave more aggressively. It is very much like adding an m button to your car. In Sport+ mode on the PedalBox, your car will feel like a true sports car. PedalBox does not advertise that it decreases turbo lag, but it certainly feels like it does.

I have one of these from TWM Performance, and the change is rather incredible. The throttle response is spot on in Sport+ mode! It feels as if the turbo lag is less, because the throttle opens up much faster, which is a good thing!
